<h1>State commission to conduct Social and Educational Survey Sept 22 to Oct 7 under Section 11(1) of 1995 Act</h1> A state commission will conduct a Social and Educational Survey from Sept 22 to Oct 7 to enumerate households and individuals for caste-related data, relying on Section 11(1) of the State Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1995 as legal justification. The exercise will deploy about 175,000 enumerators, a 60-question digital questionnaire, household geo-tagging with electricity meter numbers, Unique Household IDs, and Aadhaar/ration linkages with face-recognition KYC. The commission masked 33 dual-identity caste entries in the enumerator app (retaining them in the system) after objections; citizens may self-identify freely. Preparations proceed despite political and community objections and a possible brief delay in the metropolitan area.
